Hm okay, I'm disappointed again. After episode 3 I thought it would get better.

But this wasn't really funny, the only moments I laughed was in in the Intro when Haruka made Chiaki get up and when Mako-chan found the clothes. But other than that, this was pretty boring.

It was a little dull but I still enjoyed it for some reason. I think the black faced people are multiplying. Also, I cringed a little when the new character was handing out gloves and saying dozo over and over, reminded me of Fuko from Clannad.

I think this episode was a bit better than the previous ones although it's still a bit lame -__-;; Although in this episode ...Haruka showed her impatient / mean side and even withholding dinner ... the screen time for Hosaka has steadily increased ... and finally, the look on Fujioka's face as he realizes his 'so-called' date with Kana turns out to be a gathering for garbage duty -- was slightly amusing.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. I cracked up on several moments. Yes, when Mako-chan found the clothes, especially that dominatrix outfit (How did my outfit get there!? >_<) =P

And the fridge with the rocks totally hit me. I think you guys just don't have a good sense of humor and are carrying too high of expectations for the series. Honestly.

Remember season 1. "This is a daily depiction of the lives of the three Minami sisters. Please don't expect too much." And I never do. Because if I do, it's bad.

Haruka rocked this episode. Loved how she took command. And Mako wins. The clothes part was awesome.

Other than lack of bible black faces, I like this season.
And for this ep just presence of hosaka cracked me up.

This ep is even greater than previous 'matsuri' one, Kana looks like British hooligan, and the Sweaty Guy is as awesome as usual :D

To me, Okawari seems to be even greater than the 1st season :)

so *these* faces were Bible Black'ish?)) lol

I'm beginning to get the feeling that this series is not supposed to be "funny" but more of a serious version of Minami-ke. But thats just my opinion.

This episode was pretty good. Wasn't as funny but it kept my attention.

This was a very good and funny episode..
I don't know what you expect from this..
The only thing that was disappointing was the dark side of Haruka.
And please more Hosaka!

hmm seems like x_x fansubs add a lot of funny things that aren't in the original episode

I seem to have had much the opposite reaction from most people- this episode just really fell flat for me, with only Hosaka & Mako-chan's antics keeping it from being boring.

Up until now, I've been able to say that all the characters that have been added to the cast have been fun, interesting, and usually a bit quirky. The newest addition is just a boring doormat who doesn't seem to add anything to the show except melodrama, which doesn't feel in place at all for Minami-ke. His (many) scenes just totally drained the energy built up by antics of the rest of the cast.

This is the best episode so far. Haruka was way better than before, and Mako-chan finding those cosplay outfits was great - X_X had a the text "point of no return?" overlayed on that scene, which I lilterally lol'd at.

Less comedy and more slice of life which, fair enough, isn't everyone's cup of tea. For me though, it was the slice of life element which attracted me to Minami-ke originally so I personally enjoyed this ep. as much as the rest. It wasn't as funny as previous ones, but it wasn't boring for me. However, needs MOAR Hosaka! and creepy black faced people are creepy.

Indeed, I loled very hard when he just threw the can in the air, and it landed in the appropriate bin on his back. Glad to see Hosaka with a decent amount of screen time this episode.

And fabulous neckerchief is fabulous.

I still wonder what's up with everyone. I still find the characters funny, especially Kana. I started this after the first series and I swear that the humor is almost exactly the same. Then again, I like slice of life.

What the hell was wrong with Haruka? xD She really annoyed me. I kept waiting for them to reveal that she was on her period or something.

At this point I'm watching more for the side characters. I think I love them more than the Minami sisters. Even Mako-chan, who just loves girl's clothes. He must, since they established last episode that he doesn't HAVE to be dressed as a girl. The look on his face when he pulled out that dominatrix outfit was beautiful.

Didn't like this episode. What they did with the character Haruka cries to heaven for vengeance! I like gentle and kind Haruka with moments of JUSTIFIED anger, but there producers turned the proportions (and there are no reasons for Haruka for being angry). Oldest sister from the original content will NEVER denied a dinner for Kana and Chiaki. OoC as hell :( . And that Fuyuki guy... He's characterless like blank paper. Even Fujijoka, the blankest char in season one, shining in comparision to Fuyuki like... Like... Hosaka. Episodes 01-03 of Okawari were good, but this is serious downstep.

Lol, I'm commenting on this exactly a year after the previous post.

Haruka was different in this ep, so strict. But she needs to give the other two some tough love every now and then. She said so herself.

Overall, a decent episode, but still not better than the first season.

I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine.
